The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international
research and collaboration on logic-based program development.
LOPSTR is open to contributions in logic-based program development in
any language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively,
friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress. Formal
proceedings are produced only after the symposium, so authors can
incorporate this feedback in the published papers.

Topics:

Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program
development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of
both programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large. Papers
describing applications in these areas are especially welcome.
Contributions are welcome on all aspects of logic-based program
development, including, but not limited to:

Survey papers, that present some aspect of the above topics from a new
perspective, and application papers, that describe experience with
industrial applications, are also welcome.

Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in
English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,
conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already
appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings
may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions).

Submissions can either be (short) extended abstracts or (full) papers
whose length should not exceed 9 and 15 pages (including references),
respectively. Submissions must be formatted in the Springer LNCS
style (excluding well-marked appendices not intended for publication).
Referees are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers
should be intelligible without them. Short papers may describe
work-in-progress or tool demonstrations.

Both accepted short and full papers will appear in the pre-proceedings.
The full papers will automatically appear in the formal proceedings
that will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. In
addition, after the symposium, the programme committee will select
those short papers to be considered for formal publication. These
authors will be invited to revise and extend their submissions in the
light of the comments of the reviewers and the feedback solicited at
the meeting. Then after another round of reviewing, the revised
papers which are accepted will be also published in the formal
proceedings.

Papers should be submitted either in PDF or PostScript via the
web page of LOPSTR 2008.
